Xiang Nan has never been able to speak, and Chen Er is used to it, but he does not give up the opportunity to be sarcastic.

Sometimes this person does things that really make people feel sorry for themselves without saying anything!

"When you receive so many letters from home, you either have a blank face or you have a long face." Chen Er sneered, "After receiving a letter from Mrs. Chu Guo, you have been grinning for seven or eight days. ”

Xiang Nan's mouth grinned again, revealing his white teeth, and smiling like a crooked moon.

Chen second-hand poked in front of this crescent: "Mrs. Chu sent a letter to show off all the way, and everyone saw it." ”

Xiang Nandao: "I cooperate with her just to be seen by everyone." ”

"Your daughter-in-law's soldiers and horses have also seen it." Chen Er said, "I have heard them discuss, and I will tie you back tonight." ”

This has been said many times tonight, Xiang Nan laughed, put away the letter in his hand and knocked Chen Er's head: "You don't understand this, my daughter-in-law's soldiers and horses, my daughter-in-law doesn't speak, they won't tie me back." ”

After knocking it out, he hurriedly took it back, and looked at the letter with concern.

"Has it been a long time since you washed your head?"

Chen Erqi jumped to his feet: "The emperor didn't wash his hair every day. Looking at the letter that Xiang Nan put away, he sneered, "You told Mrs. Chu Guo about your love, what did Mrs. Chu respond to you?" Does she love you too? ”

Xiang Nan laughed: "No, she scolded me." ”

Chen Er looked coldly: "I scold you every day, why don't you laugh at me?" ”

Ever since I received the letter from Mrs. Chu Guo, I haven't stopped laughing.

Xiang Nan laughed again, stretched out his hand and poked his heart: "Because you are scolding me with your mouth and loving me with your heart, Mrs. Chu Guo is scolding me with her mouth, mocking me every word, and scolding me and mocking me in her heart." ”

Chen Er was stunned: "Then you are still so happy?" ”

Xiang Nan smiled: "There's nothing to be unhappy about, I don't want her to praise me, nor do I want her to like me." ”

The words in this guy's mouth are always upside down and incomprehensible, Chen Er glared: "I used to pestering people to meet people, but now I am pestering to write letters, don't you like anything?" So you like to be scolded? ”

Xiang Nan laughed and lifted a cloth bag on the table: "It's not because I like it, it's not because of my background, it's not because of my surname, it's just because of your cooperation." ”

Chen Er didn't just remember the ridicule, when he heard the cooperation, he thought of Xiang Nan's plan all along.

"Mrs. Chu agreed?" He threw away the mess and asked, "She wants to cooperate with us to take down the Xuanwu Dao Rangers?" ”

Xiang Nan nodded: "That's right, she scolded me and agreed to cooperate." ”

Chen Er was immediately overjoyed: "Then you are scolding well." ”

The little soldier couldn't help but stand in front of the map and rub his hands to look.

"Where to start? This Xuanwu Dao is also chaotic enough. ”

"How did it divide into so many territories, and did Xuanwu Dao have so many soldiers and horses?"

"Don't worry about this side, this side is occupied by Mrs. Chu State."

"Hey, Anton also has to keep enough manpower here, and he can't cheapen this group of rabbits in Henan Province."

The little soldier muttered and pointed, and Xiang Nan nodded on the side and responded one by one: "You're right." ”

Chen Er's eyes were on the map, and he tossed and turned half of Xuanwu Dao, and finally came to Huazhou, he let out a long breath and went home.

This time when he went home, he straightened his back and was full of ambition, and turned his head to see Xiang Nan on the side holding the cloth bag and learning from him.

Chen Er didn't glare at him, and thought of a key question: "How many soldiers and horses does Mrs. Chu have sent?"

Xiang Nan shook the cloth bag in his hand, and hung it in front of him, a black flag, fire patterns on all sides, and a big red character in the middle, Chu.

The black flag fire pattern is the banner of the Zhenwu Army, and the crow head in the middle is the military flag of the Crow Army.

Recently, there is another kind of banner of the Zhenwu Army, that is, this Chuzi banner, which was first started in Jiangnan Province.

"The flag of the Lady of Chu." Chen Er took a closer look and nodded, "Husband and wife are one, but now Mrs. Chu is also leading the troops and horses, so it's good to have a flag to distinguish it." ”

Xiang Nan nodded and said yes: "Of course she should have her own flag." ”

Chen Er pursed his lips, not arguing with him about how unruly her behavior was, and continued to ask: "How many soldiers and horses were given?" See how much your scolding is worth. ”

Xiang Nan shook the Chuzi banner in front of him, and raised his chin to Chen Er: "This." ”

Chen Er blinked, puzzled: "What? ”

Xiang Nan rubbed his chin against the big flag, and the corners of his mouth crooked and smiled: "I gave a big flag." ”

Chen Er looked at him and blinked, and Xiang Nan also winked at him.

The next moment, the little soldier in front of him jumped up, and Xiang Nan ran away with the flag.

"Not only do you like to be scolded, but you also like to be played like a fool!"

"You see you don't read, you can't read, you can't read, you don't understand, Qi Nai Xinya!"

"I believe you're a ghost! Are you stupid! ”

......

......

The Great Xia is in chaos, the Son of Heaven lives in a corner of Linzhou, the traitors lie in the palace of the imperial city in the capital, the rebels of the guards fight everywhere, and the people are like lost dogs and birds, but there are also unchanged, the cold and summer solar terms all year round, and the New Year's Day is still to be passed.

The sound of firecrackers in the city of Ning'an Mansion in Xuanwu Dao, although there are not many pedestrians on the snow-covered street, and the shops are not open, but peach charms are hung in front of every house, and there are sporadic children's laughter in the house.....

The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the streets, and the remnants of snow were flying, and the laughter in the house was dissipated.

Surrounded by a group of soldiers and horses is the general of Ning'an Mansion, Cao Yong, the general of soldiers and horses was named by himself, before the rebellion, he served as a captain in the Fengwei army, leading 200 people.

Now that he has 10,000 men, of course he can no longer be a captain.

"Actually, it's the same for a long time." Cao Yong looked at the festive peach charms and tied colored silks on both sides of the street, and nodded with satisfaction, "Good days and bad days can go on." ”

It's been three years since the rebellion, and everyone has forgotten the peaceful times of the past, and it seems that they have been born in such a troubled era, and they are used to not having enough food, clothing, warmth, and trembling.

"That's what the Admiral said." A group of officials nodded their heads.

"Everything is ready." Cao Yong asked.

The civil officials nodded: "It has been prepared in front of the City God Temple." Then they all saluted, "Please join the people in rejoicing." ”

Cao Yong laughed, shook hands with the prefects and other drivers on the left and right, and corrected: "We, we have fun with the people." ”

In addition to the generals and some civil officials around Cao Yong, after the rebellion, the original officials of Ning'an Mansion either died or fled, and the rest were not officials and the people, and the people did not need officials, everyone only needed soldiers, and Cao Yong alone was the heaven of Ning'an Mansion.

However, this year, Cao Yong brought back all the officials and arranged for them to perform their duties to manage the affairs of the government, although there were not many affairs, but it became them to deal with the people.

This was learned from Mrs. Chu Guo of Huainan Province.

Under the rule of Mrs. Chu, the generals were in charge of the soldiers and horses, and the officials were in charge of the people, just like in the peaceful and prosperous times, the people's hearts were more stable.

Probably because of the rebels, the people were afraid of soldiers and horses, at first I heard that there were only soldiers in the city, not to mention attracting displaced people, the people in the city ran out, but after the establishment of the government, there were prefects and officials who came in and out, and the people were much better.

Cao Yong is not only brave, otherwise there are so many captains in Xuanwudao, only he led 10,000 people from 200 people, he supported the officials, and also played a scene with the civil officials, he ran in the city on horseback, injured a citizen, and then the prefect held the official hat to scold him, after a dispute, Cao Yong was impressed by the honest and honest prefect.

"It should have been punished by beheading, but when it comes to the general leading the troops to defend the city, let's replace the punishment with whipping." The prefect said solemnly.

Cao Yong dismounted in shame and untied his robe, and let his soldiers whip him, and from then on, the people in the city no longer ran around, and many homeless people were attracted to it.

The front of the City God Temple was crowded with people, all holding bowls and chopsticks in their hands, looking at the porridge pot in front of them that exuded the smell of meat.

There is meat in today's porridge, which makes many people can't help but be restless.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze." Officials and officials maintain order, "Your Excellency and the General have said that everyone has a share, congratulations on the New Year." ”

At the suggestion of the officials, the people held up their bowls and shouted: "Your Excellency and the General bless me." ”

In this way, the soup soup porridge officially began, Cao Yong and the prefect took a spoon and personally served porridge to the people, although there was an official mission to maintain, the people still crowded .....

The homeless and the poor are crowded, and the richly dressed are also crowded.

"What are you squeezing?" Some homeless people were angry, "Can you have one less bowl of porridge to eat?" ”

The rich people thought to themselves that what they lacked was not a bowl of porridge, but meat, and they had meat hidden in the treasury of money, but they did not dare to eat it at all, nor did they dare to take the money out to buy it...... Well, it's not called snatching, it's called conscription.

Now that the days are difficult, everyone should work together to share the difficulties, and if there is food, they will naturally eat together, and the government will confiscate the food and distribute it equally to the people, so that everyone can eat enough and not starve to death.

I heard that the rich family of Mrs. Chu has no such troubles, and even if they pay enough money, they can ask Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses to be escorts.

Cao Yong learned from Mrs. Chu everywhere, but he only learned fur, not even fur!

Now whether it is the rebels or the guards, they all know the benefits of having more people, and they secretly hate and are jealous that Mrs. Chu Guo took the lead and gathered so many people, which is the source of soldiers and horses.

So everyone began to learn from Mrs. Chu Guo, no longer driving away and killing people at will, but robbing people, snatching them back to give them a place to live, food and drink, so that they can settle down, farm, and have children.....

The rich people squeezed forward with their heads down, received the porridge and thanked them and left, not daring to look at Cao Yong's gentle and kind smiling face at all.

The smiling face couldn't hide the hungry wolf's eyes, and he saw that they were lambs in captivity to be slaughtered.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Chu also treats the people as lambs, but she secretly inquired with the merchants from Huainan Province, but the merchants didn't think so.

"Mrs. Chu is really raising people." The merchant said, "She doesn't let others live for the sake of her life, she really wants everyone to live." ”

It's a bit of a twist of the tongue, they can't figure it out, if only they could see it with their own eyes.

In this world, the hearts of the people are exposed, naked and undisguised, and you can see it at a glance.

The soup kitchen team was a little chaotic, and in order to avoid blaming himself for poor arrangement, the prefect wiped his sweat and said to Cao Yong: "There are a lot more people in the city." ”

This is what Cao Yong likes to hear, and he laughed happily: "Adult's arm is sore, you can't compare with me, I'm holding a knife, you're holding a pen." ”

How could the prefect admit defeat: "This official is not inferior to an adult." ”

But Cao Yong stopped first, and a personal soldier whispered in his ear, Cao Yong's brows furrowed, and the prefect's hand holding the spoon trembled.

"Xiang Nan?" Cao Yong pronounced the name, "Why is he here again?" ”
